Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.93

Addon Information
Name: Rigify (0, 6, 2)
Author: Nathan Vegdahl, Lucio Rossi, Ivan Cappiello, Alexander Gavrilov

Short description of error
When generating a rig with an action constraint applied to a bone of basic.super_copy type, the channels in the action get renamed to the corresponding ORG bones.
This means the action no longer works on the metarig, and is therefore no longer editable.
It would be better if rigify made a copy of the action before doing that, so that the action is still editable in the metarig.action_constraint_rigify_bug.blend

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
See attached blend file...
Generate the rig, and notice the action has been changed so that it now animatews the ORG bone, and there is no copy of the original action available for editing in the metarig.

I can replicate the described behavior. But it is unclear how this should be handled, waiting for information from the developers.
